Snare of Love novel Chapter 247

Everyone had already come when Matthew and Dolores came down. Theresa took care of Simona, and Samuel was able to feed himself without the help of others.

"It appears that I’m not that late, as I'll be just in time for dinner." Charles entered in his wheelchair.

He stared at Dolores with a smile on his face. "You said you'd treat me to dinner, but I had to come up to you to get a meal. It shouldn't be you treating me. Instead, it should be me treating you."

Dolores returned and encountered the doll prank which made her forget about it. Dolores felt sorry about that, "I'm sorry that I forgot."

"It's OK. Didn't I come here to seek for you?" "How about treating me to a meal in the morning?" Charles said as he glanced at Matthew.

"Mr. White, are you too poor to purchase a meal?" Matthew teased Charles as he faked a smile. He placed his hand around Dolores’ shoulder and slid it to her waist. With a strong snap, Dolores' body was instantaneously stuck to his body.

"If it was not Ms. Flores who treats me to a meal, then it would be meaningless and tasteless no matter what I eat" Charles said as his gaze skimmed over the big hand around Dolores’ waist. His gaze flickered slightly as he smiled gently.

Dolores’ gaze darted back and forth between Charles and Matthew as she wondered why she had the impression that they were actually comparing and fighting with one other.

Why did the atmosphere become so tense?

She couldn't go back on her word, because she was the one who recommended treating Charles to a meal. "That's OK, you may join us".

Charles grinned as he glanced at the table not far away, where all her family members had seated half of the table "Is it proper to ask me to dinner with so many people? Shouldn't you inquire as to what I'd like to eat?"

"Sorry that I’m not considerate enough so where and what does Mr White want to eat?" For a time, Dolores’ expression changed subtly as she hadn't expected Charles to become so picky today.

He used to be very easy-going.

"Turn right out of the hotel, there's a breakfast shop named FSB not far away. The breakfast from the store is delicious, I particularly like the leaf-lard bun from the store, I wonder if Ms Flores, could you treat me to have it?"

"Alright," Dolores replied as she kept her grin on her face.

Dolores didn't appear to comprehend at this point in the conversation that Charles just wanted her to invite him alone, so Charles spoke up and reminded her, "You're inviting me alone, right?"

Dolores said without hesitation, "Yes".

"Then isn't it suitable for Mr Nelson to follow?" He said as he smiled gently.

He was pushing his luck!

Matthew's words were on the tip of his tongue, but just as he was ready to let them out, he felt a strong tug on his back.

He turned around to see Simona rushing over to him. She grasped the edge of his shirt and said, "Daddy come and eat, I peeled eggs for you."

"Simona is such a good girl," Dolores said as she touched her daughter's hair. "Then please take care of Simona," she said as she looked up at Matthew.

"Daddy, Daddy, hurry up and see the eggs I peeled for you...," Simona drew Matthew to the table in the same way she drew Dolores back to her room in the morning.

"Let's go," Dolores remarked as he approached Charles.

Charles moved to the front as he turned his wheelchair to lead the way.

They didn't drive since it wasn't far and Tom who used to be with Charles didn't follow.

"You're not furious just now, are you?" Charles spoke as she walked out of the hotel.

"I was the one who said I'd treat you to a meal but I forgot so I should be the one who feels guilty," Dolores replied with a smile.

"What I mean was that I asked just you out for a meal."

Dolores was taken aback by his persistence in calling her out.

"Actually, I have something that I wish you can help me with, and it's not good to talk about that inside, which is why I called you out." Charles confessed.

This was why he phoned Dolores so early and mentioned the treat in order to ask her out.
